And so, I have been a vegetarian since 1972, which despite my incredible odyssey in life, has consistently served as a spiritual touchstone and foundation over which I could always count on for its dedication, disclipine and nutrition. Spiritualy I would not be the same person if not for that undying devotion to my diet. Perhaps it is time to take the next logical step to total veganism....Would you help me with this revelation?

Following are some raison d'etres of my life and which I embrace on a daily basis:

There is no way to happiness; happiness is the way.

There is no way to love; love is the way and I am steeped in the glow of that light.

There is no way to understanding in my day to day life; understanding is the way.

A brief synopsis of my life: A professional student for ten years and have studied to the Ph.D. level at NYU, I am well traveled to such places as Australia, Israel (for one year), The Orient, Europe (having lived in Malta), Canada extensively, Mexico as well as Costa Rica. I have taught on the college level, have been a successful businessman and now seek to write what I am passionate about (please don't hesitate to inquire what that is) and hopefully publish.

I am a transplanted New Yorker who relocated to Montana with my 29 year old daughter through God's vision and who has come to some realizations as to what constitutes one's sanctuary.

Ive been a vegetarian for three years, I was inspired by a friend i worked with, our job required extensive time spent together in foreign countries, but he was a vegetarian his whole life and convinced me to change my eating habbits, i had already followed a pretty healthy diet.

Im a geologist and a teacher, at the moment I am in the research field but looking for a change, maybe start teaching again if I find the right job.

My dog "Lester" is 7 hes like a kid thats always by my side.

Im leaning how to play the guitar, its really relaxing. Someone musical would be cool.

I'm an active nature-lover with a cheery disposition. I like to do many things: walk/hike, swim, xc ski/snowshoe, travel, be still in the woods-senses filled/mind wandering, spend time with friends, read, dance, listen to music, do yoga & dig in the dirt. I meditate--ok, sometimes it's meditating. I strive to be compassionate, patient & ethical and am attracted to those qualities in others. I'm quick to smile/laugh and have lots of love to give. I enjoy the company of others, but need & like time alone as well. I'm intelligent & contemplative, but also can be quite silly. I'm attracted to Buddhism, but open to any loving/compassionate belief. I'm curious, like problem-solving & am politically liberal. My little house is shared with 3 goofy dogs who bring lots of joy into each day. Missoula is great geographically & being a college town has lots to offer, but I'm open to change/relocation.

Love is my religion. I'm a very devoted type of person, long term relationships are my default setting :) I dream of our children playing in our garden of beautiful veggies someday. Music saves me day in and day out. Looking to find a woman capable of standing in her divine feminine power!!! I would be soooo blessed ;)

I tend to be rather deep, compassionate, and introverted with extroverted tendencies; I am frequently working to change myself, so that I can change the world.
